Every time 23rd February approaches, the citizens and residents are reminded about the priceless value of independence. The National Day celebration is not just a parade and flag-raising, but it is a symbol of our determination as the citizens and residents to uphold the Malay Islamic Monarchy Concept, contribute to the country's development and maintain the peace and harmony that we enjoy today. The greetings from those involved during the flag-raising ceremony in conjunction with Brunei Darussalam's 42nd National Day, reflect the solid spirit of patriotism, strong unity, and unwavering commitment of all levels of society in upholding the sovereignty of the nation.
